Ridgebacks often earn the epithet "Houdini Hound"
for their surprisingly athletic feats of agility.

Ridgebacks excel at Agility
Trialling where the dogs are put over jumps, through tunnels, over ramps etc in
a timed competition.

A number of dogs have successfully gained AD (Agility Dog),
ADX (Agility Dog Excellent), ADM (Agility Dog Master) and JD (Jumping Dog)
titles. There is now a plethora of allied titles available in this field.
